- OK, now the problem they're is that they downloaded a bunch of the
- misc.jobs.offered postings. About 125 messages into the "import" stage,
- Trumpet halted and popped up an error message. They now get an
- "out-of-memory" error message anytime they try to use Trumpet
- newsreader. They have 1000 or more articles to look at, but also 16MB
- of RAM in their Windows box and nothing else running.
-
- Suggestions?

-
- You might be right. This way I don't have to mess with Windows myself.
-
- "Sorry, don't run Windows" makes conversations a lot quicker ... and
- besides, Joey stole his VGA monitor back, which leaves me with just my
- mono monitors ...

- Subject: Nupop to Eudora migration problem
-
- I am trying to migrate from Nupop to Eudora for all the usual reasons (Eudora
- is a windows, not a dos, program; it doesn't require a pktmux kludge to work
- with other network programs; it doesn't eat up resources like a dos-box
- program; etc.). There is just one problem that keeps me from abandoning
- Nupop. It seems to me to be impossible to use Eudora to read mail from more
- than one site. I would like to read mail from my office machine, my home
- machine, and from a laptop when on the road.
-
- With Nupop you can independently specify whether or not to leave a message on
- the server and whether to read all mail on the server or only the new mail on
- the server. This allows you to keep important messages on the server for
- access by any machine. You can, of course, remove a message from the server
- when it isn't necessary any more.
-
- Using Eudora I have yet to figure out how to read a message that has already
- been read at a different computer without deleting it from the server. That
- is, for some reason, message deletion is connected to the ability to read
- "old" mail from a server.
-
- Does anyone have a workaround? Or, can anyone explain what switches I should
- set to do what I want (that I have been to dense to figure out)?
-
- I hate to register the program to be able to direct this question to Qualcom
- because I fully expect the answer to be "It can't be done."
-
- Thanks for any assistance!
